Edmund Scientific Astroscan Telescope

As a boy I dreamed of one day owning an Edmund ScientificAstroscan telescope. As I grew older, and my tastes became more mature, I discovered that no serious astronomer would be caught dead using one.

The Astroscan is considered to be little more than a plaything.Not only do the optics leave a lot to be desired, the design is toylike.But perhaps that’s the point. Every time I’ve ever seen a Astroscan at a star party the people using it seem to be having more fun than anyone else.
